General Motors wipers investigation

General Motors is facing an investigation over a windshield wiper recall from two years ago. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is looking into whether enough vehicles were included in the 2016 decision.

At that time, GM recalled more than 300,000 SUVs from model year 2013 that could have windshield wiper problems. The wipers had a defect that meant they had excessive corrosion and could break during normal use.

Federal officials want to know whether the recall should have included far more vehicles, as many as 1.7 million.
